Many netizens, including Taylor Swift and K-Pop fans, are celebrating Braun’s deactivation. Braun has a history of problematic behavior that has caused many to despise him. He recently used the social media platform to spread Zionist propaganda in the context of Israeli attacks on Palestine.

Even if Scooter Braun gets fired or whatever happens next, we still have to continue the boycott since the current CEO of HYBE is still there who is a Zionist, ensuring that they will completely disengage from Zionism and will no longer do any more Zionist collaborations. .
